>there is so much rong with this logic that it scares me. There logic is sound because WaSP is more focused on standards than accessibility. You can't build a house without a foundation, and developing to standards lays the groundwork for accessibility. >This though is changing and the world needs >to wake up. Actually, much of the world has woken up, it is >the us that needs to wake up and also the web standards project it seems. WaSP is the lone, organized voice of sanity in the web design culture in the United States. Their mission is to promote standards, and they treat accessibility as a positive side-effect of developing to the standards. I agree that the U.S. needs to wake up. There is plenty of legislation on the books, but people are mostly uneducated about the guidelines. Plus, most designers see these guidelines as intrusive to their creativity, which is another problem. Randal
